[Spelling and grammar not corrected]
Our family greatly appreciates the work you are doing to lead people into the truth. . . . a friend of ours . . . shared a copy of his Mormonism: Shadow or Reality? with us. It was a huge help in helping us make the decision to leave Mormonism for our return to true Christianity and a wonderful new church. . . . Thank you very much!
(Letter from North Carolina)
I can’t tell you how much I am indebted to you both for showing me the error of my beliefs in Mormonism! I was a fully active member for 19 years, having served a proselyting mission in New Zealand, a Temple Marriage and until my leaving the church served in several leadership roles in both Ward and Stake. . . . I began to doubt the church’s authenticity when speaking to a fellow worker who was a strong Christian . . . I approached my sister who had left the church about 9-10 years earlier after having studied church history with her husband. They were a great help and provided me with a copy of Mormonism— Shadow or Reality to read. This book is dynamite! . . . My sister and her husband had been praying fervently for years for myself and my parents (who have served 2 temple missions) to see the light and finally we have. . . . I can assure you that the work you are doing is well and truly worthwhile as myself and my parents are living proof.
(Letter from Australia)
. . . I left the Mormon Church about a year ago (hence my decision to write a book) having been a convert for about three years. I am an Ambulanceman now . . . and have faith in Jesus Christ. . . . My ‘other half’. . . was a Mormon, in fact I helped her towards her conversion when I was actively involved in missionary work in my local ward, she too is no longer a member . . . I did not study to criticise or prove the church false but to learn of the ‘true church.’. . . I soon learnt of the infamous Jerald and Sandra Tanner. . . . I . . . had made plans already to serve as a missionary. I decided to go . . . I returned seven months later, and soon afterwards left. On my mission . . . I had written to Utah Lighthouse Ministry and received information that confirmed my doubts . . . When I write about my so-called opposition, it was really from the day of my Endowment . . . In actual fact I was horrified by the temple, I have never felt so far away from God in all my life. I was in a daze for many days. I expressed my feelings with other members. Some were honest enough to admit they felt the same, others implied I must of been unworthy or I should go many times to appreciate it. This I did, twenty or so I believe and I still had the same feeling that it was not of God.
(Letter from England)
We both wish to thank you for your research and excellent work in exposing the Mormon Church. There are alot of people in Australia (Ex Mormons) who are very grateful to you both for your tremendous research work in exposing the World of Mormonism. Since we have left the Mormon Church we have found out that 15 (Fifteen) people have left the church, and all have come from the same stake that we belonged to. From what we can establish, the information, in [sic] which prompted these people to leave the church, was from your books, Mormonism Shadow or Reality and the Changing World of Mormonism, both excellent books. We want to let you know that we are grateful to you both for bringing to us the truth, it has made us free and a lot happier.
(Letter from Australia)
I really appreciate the work that you are doing. I am a former Mormon that your works helped bring out of the darkness and into the glorious light of the real gospel of Jesus.
